my personal dotfiles, managed using chezmoi

dotfiles

These are my personal dotfiles. They are used on a system running openSUSE Tumbleweed and are managed with chezmoi.

Install them with: chezmoi init "github.com/m-rey/dotfiles"

TODO

While the dotfiles work, there are some small issues and suggestions that could be fixed/implemented. I've created issues for them.

Contributing

For any questions, comments, feedback or issues, submit a new issue.

Feel free to submit a PR if you know how to resolve an issue or just want to contribute an improvement.

dotfiles's Issues

Set swaylock theme with pywal

The current config is a noop, as everything (?) is commented out.

This could also be combined with wal.

Move secrets out of chezmoi config file

Currently secrets are stored along with the config file of chezmoi. One could use something like pass or simply move the servers to another file. That way, the chezmoi config could be shared unencrypted while saving the secrets in an encrypted, secure way.

Sort/Refactor neovim config

The config for neovim is somewhat messy. It could be restructured and unnecessary plugins/settings should be removed accordingly.

Add CSS rule to set color of wofi input textbox outline when hovered

Change LC_* (locale)

I want to configure the system to use German time/date/... formatting, while still having the language in English. For that, I'll probably have to take a look at the LC_* env vars or set a config: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale

Fix zsh/bash history config

I intended the my zsh/bash history to be store be "unlimited". This currently isn't the case. Thus some research is needed to make the appropriate changes to the dotfiles.

Use pywal template files for sway

Instead of setting the colors manually in the sway config file, maybe https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/wiki/User-Template-Files could be used.

Add documentation

A simple explanation about some design decisions and how these dotfiles can be applied would make it easier for others to use. Looking at other chezmoi managed dotfiles could serve as inspiration.

Move parts of zsh config to bash config

At the moment, the bash config (.bashrc) sources the zsh config. However, some of the things in the zsh config are not compatible with bash. Thus simply sourcing things raises errors.

Therefore, for compatibility, "general" things could be moved to the bash config, zsh specific things should stay in the zsh config and then the zsh config should source the bash config.

Look into using zinit vs antibody for zsh plugins

I've discovered zinit not long ago. Maybe it could replace antibody. It mostly depends on how performant they are, so some test are needed.

Use pywal colors for waybar

Pywal apparently has support for waybar. Thus using it could simplify completely changing themes. The usage of pywal templates may be needed to archive the wanted result.

Replace antibody

Related to and fixes #7

Antibody seems to not be developed anymore.

Therefore research and move to an alternative.

Add wofi support to pywal

Pywal apparently has support for rofi. Wofi, while being while similar, currently is not supported directly by pywal. Loading the rofi config didn't work.. Thus a pywal template could be created to also support wofi.

Add explanations to zstyle completions

This zsh config uses lots of zstyle completions. Each of them should have a short explanation to quickly know how what they do. That way, other users can cherry pick their config to their liking.
